I never had good health, but my last sickness was caused...

Emma Harvey

I never had good health, but my last sickness was caused by a fall which injured my spine and ankle. The injury to the spine was slow to develop, nothing seemed to cure my ankle, and in two months I was confined to the bed. Sometimes my brain was troubled, and I had such headaches that often I could not raise my head from the pillow without hurting my spine. Finally one doctor called it Bright's disease. I suffered more than ever from his treatment.

A year ago I heard of Christian Science, and it seemed the only thing left for me to try. I gave healer to understand that I had no faith in Christian Science, but that seemed no obstacle to him. I had been confined to the bed for five months and was almost helpless. What relief came with the first treatment! That day I sat up while my bed was made, the next day stood on my feet, the third day I took a few steps, and in ten days I walked to the street and rode around town for an hour. I shall never forget the enjoyment of that ride. I limped a long time in walking, but gained steadily, and this week was told, "You walk as if you had good health." I said, "I am well, and I have no limp now." I have had no treatment for the past six months. Had two teeth extracted last week and they pained me very little. I thank God more and more every day for my little knowledge of Christian Science. It did not at first bring peace into my home life, but a sword. But peace has begun to dawn, and I know it will come in its full brightness.
